NinthWave Records , one of the bedrocks of the North American SynthPop scene for well over a decade, has unleashed their Fall Sampler for free, right now, on Amazon. If you head on over to the link below you'll find 18 tracks of the pick of Modern SynthPop and the cream of NinthWave Records for the grand total of $0.00. Featuring tracks from The Modern (Matinée Club), Alan Replica, Kyle Brylin, The Garland Cult, The Peoples and electronic rumors alumni Empire State Human and Van Go Lion the sampler is a no-brainer [...]
Here's the ElectroPop epic from Portland's finest export Van Go Lion . 'Colors' is a nice slice of glitterball Pop that sees Josh slide a little Disco into his flawless ElectroPop production, this new track has a definite Kylie sheen to it in both the music and the production of Amy's vocals, which are typically perfect power Pop. We would expect no less. More dreamlike that previous Van Go Lion tracks, 'Colors' isn;t as instantly catchy but washes over you in waves of electronic Pop goodness that seems to be ultimately more satisfying. [...]
It's been a while since we've heard any new sounds from Binary artist, Zak Aldridge, AKA, Alfa . But don't worry we can assure you he's been hard at work on some new tunes and preparing for an upcoming album. Aldridge was born and raised in LA and his music is a unique taste of electro funk. His first single was " LA Passion ", released in 2009. Since then he's put out several other original tracks and an array of remixes. Just a few days ago, he put out these two brand new remixes: [...]
Here is where I make a joke about Alfa tracks being like busses, you wait and wait and wait then three come along at one. This time he's turned his attention to Portland's finest, Van Go Lion 's 'Glow' and he's getting even more funky. The Moog Funk lead line running throughout the track forms a solid bedrock which grounds the emotionally resonate song. A complex track, meticulously produced, Alfa has matched the tone of the track, just moved it to a different music location. Whereas the original was sweet SynthPop, Alfa gives it a [...]
Guys! If you have yet to be smitten by Portland-based electropop duo Van Go Lion (AKA Amy Paige & Josh Loerzel )...go kick yourself in the head and THEN go check out my previous posts (# 1 , # 2 , # 3 ). Once you've recovered from that swift kick in the head, the next thing on your agenda should be to listen to the duo's first ever cover song! I almost hate to say that I love when [...]
Portland ElectroPop duo Van Go Lion have only gone and done a cover of 80's smooth Pop boy's Johnny Hates Jazz 's smash hit 'Shattered Dreams' ain't they! It's actually really weird to hear a song you know inside out sung by someone else, but Van Go Lion tune in a brilliant updating of the tune. It seems the Jazzers (or the Johnnies?) themselves like the track too, making this statement " 25 years since Shattered Dreams was originally a worldwide hit, and after nearly three and a half million airplays in the US alone, [...]
This is EXCITING , at least for you UK peeps (I'm a TAD bit jealous). You may recall a couple of posts I did about Portland-based electro duo Van Go Lion (AKA Amy Paige & Josh Loerzel ). They're freshy fresh and oh so talented and now, UK music lovers...they're all yours! Van Go Lion made their UK debut yesterday, June 13th [...]
Van Go Lion are back with a brand new single, so soon after the release of 'Body Moves'. 'We Don't Miss A Beat' comes out on London label Aztec Records today and continues in VGL's quest for ElectroPop dominance. Swapping 'Body Moves'' dancefloor sexuality for a feel-good party vibe this time around 'We Don't Miss A Beat' shimmers and glides through, a perfect, three and a half minutes of electronic Pop at it's finest. ♫ Van Go Lion - We Don't Miss A Beat 'We Don't [...]

Here's a selection of amazing tracks I've been wanting to blog about for quite some time. Ready? Simon Curtis - Superhero Sexy and brilliant Simon Curtis is back and ready to release his second self-produced album RΔ after >he released the first one last year . [...]
Van Go Lion 's 'Body Moves' get's played a lot round these parts, as début singles go it's in impressive way to kick-off their career and sure to gain them some attention. This reMix we have here comes courtesy of QUBIQ , who provides a deep, quite proggy, House mix with a big room flavour. Thankfully keeping most of the song structure intact the reMix transforms Van Go Lion's huge ElectroPop into a late night floor-filler. ♫ Van Go Lion - Body Moves (QUBIQ Extended) [...]
I can't believe that it's been almost a year since my last Van Go Lion post? Well, now is as good a time as any to bring them back into your sights for the release of their new Body Moves EP (available on iTunes now). First, a little refresher on the Portland-based duo. Van Go Lion is Amy Paige (vocals, lyrics) and [...]
Portland's purveyors of perfect Pop Van Go Lion (that's my clever writing quota for the year done!) release their brand new single 'Body Moves' today on Ninthwave Records . Unashamedly ambassadors for electronic Pop music, the duo of Josh Loerzel and Amy Paige have been quietly and constantly putting out the kinda' of tunes that make you smile and make you dance for the last year or so but the release of 'Body Moves' should give them a bit more exposure and propel them into the ElectroPop limelight. The track features everything we've come to [...]
You really don't have to head all the way to Europe to find some fresh new dance pop. Take for example newcomers Van Go Lion . Their new single " Body Moves " is a finely-cut slice of throbbing electro-pop with sparkly synths and uplifting vocals that was inspired by some of the finest European dance pop but was produced, yes, right here in Portland, Oregon.p Van Go Lion is the teaming ofpAmy Paige (vocals) and Josh Loerzel (synth) who skillfully craft a fresh and forward new pop sound that they like to describe as "Disco Disney [...]
Van Go Lion are pretty awesome, it's actually quite hard for me to concentrate on writing something about them 'cos I'm just kinda' sat here digging the music. This duo from Portland make some epic sounding ElectroPop with the 'Electro' and the 'Pop' in just the right places. Catchy vocals with a sense of humour, powerful electronics with soaring lead lines and a backline aimed squarely at the dancefloor…what more could you ask for? I think one of the things that impress about Van Go Loin immediately is the huge production, which coupled with the power of [...]
Van Go Lion is a group that you need to familiarize yourselves with. The Portland-based electro-pop duo consists of Amy Paige on vocals and Josh Loerzel on keys. A lot of electro-pop today is lacking in the vocal department. All too frequently too much energy and attention is paid to the production and beats, leaving the vocalist swallowed up by the sound. Amy Paige is NOT that sort of vocalist. A beautiful, strong voice combined with crystal clear annunciation and delivery, her vocals persevere, enhancing the [...]
Ace new US band Van Go Lion answered my questions and made a great video for you to enjoy. You can download their awesome tracks Glow , The Ache and Sugarblush for free here and here , but you should also buy their superb debut EP on iTunes. This very nice and down-to-earth twosome has a lot of great electro-pop tunes to offer and will hopefully get the success it deserves. Thank you Amy & Josh, see you soon in Paris!
I told you about new Portland-based duo Van Go Lion a few weeks ago. Their first EP is a synthpop-filled musical pleasure of mine at the moment. Well they have a new song they want to share with you. It's called Sugarblush and it's an absolutely exquisite slice of summery pop. Stay tuned for a little surprise involving the band in the coming weeks. For now, enjoy the track buy downloading it below. VAN GO LION - SUGARBLUSH [...]
Van Go Lion is a Portland electro duo who after their fist self titled EP, they are now releasing their latest creation called Glow, which unlike their fist song The Ache it ventures away from 80's synths to a dance sound. Van Go Lion - Glow Van Go Lion - The Ache [...]
Pósthólf Rjómans er djúpt og mikið eins og hafið sjálft og þar leynast ótal hættur. Þar er líka fullt af skemmtilegum skilaboðum frá allskonar skemmtilegu fólki út í heimi sem sendir okkur skemmtilega músik. Okkur finnst það afar skemmtilegt.

(LA VERSION FRANCAISE DE CET ARTICLE SE TROUVE DANS LA PARTIE COMMENTAIRES) These two people above looking at you in quite an intriguing way are Portland-based duo called Van Go Lion . Amy Paige would be the female part of the twosome and Josh Loerzel her male counterpart. Apart from taking weirdly-lit pictures, this band also makes great 80's inspired electro pop music that you wil probably enjoy a lot. Below I have two new tracks to share with you, called Glow [...]
